IES Rio Duero - Zamora

What IES Rio Duero - Zamora does

IES Río Duero is a public secondary education institute (Instituto de Educación Secundaria) located in Zamora, Spain, and operated by the Junta de Castilla y León, the regional government of Castile and León. Founded in 1979 as the Instituto Politécnico Nacional de Formación Profesional and renamed under the 1993/94 LOGSE reform, the school delivers the full Spanish secondary education stack: four years of compulsory ESO (Educación Secundaria Obligatoria) including curricular diversification tracks, two years of Bachillerato in Sciences & Technology and Humanities & Social Sciences, and multi-level Formación Profesional in two vocational families — Electricity & Electronics, and Transport & Vehicle Maintenance. The latter includes what is described as Spain's only Specialization Course in Restoration, Repair and Maintenance of Historic and Classic Vehicles.

The institute's enabling technology is a Moodle-based Aula Virtual hosted on the Junta de Castilla y León's aulavirtual.educa.jcyl.es infrastructure, complemented by the regional educa.jcyl.es portal and the El Orienta orientation platform. The school holds CoDiCe TIC Nivel 4 Avanzado certification (the highest regional digital competence tier), Erasmus+ K120 accreditation for 2021-2027 with six European partners, and the eTwinning Quality Label. It has produced a SpainSkills 2024 national gold medalist in Vehicle Body Repair and won an international eTwinning AI video competition.

The business model is non-commercial: as a public school, IES Río Duero is funded by the Junta de Castilla y León and delivers all educational services at no direct cost to students, with optional fees only for AMPA (parent association) membership. Revenue is therefore a regional government allocation rather than a market transaction, and no financial figures are disclosed. Distribution is limited to direct enrollment through the school's secretariat for students within the Zamora catchment area, supplemented by the national reach of the historic vehicle restoration specialization.
